    Just a heads-up, some more are available.

    Yeah, a little more space isn't going to hurt at all!

    Casey and 3 Sons stood out last year. Skip the special/timed toppings. The body bumping was not worth it even if those were beers you’d be interested in

    Ugh, timed tappings? Wasn’t he just able to observe the perfect beer fest at the SP Invitational?

    They were just randomly put on by whoever brought the beer. Shaun busted out a magnum of curvature and it turned into a mosh pit.

    The Prop 13 riot was way worse than the Curvature mosh pit

    Yeah mapping out all your stops is basically impossible. There will be long ass lines for some beers and suddenly you're drunk and going elsewhere.

    I got tickets, and everyone I know that was hoping to go also snagged them. I think this is the best festival around the Great Lakes. The brewery list is really unbelievable. Hopefully the new venue will be able to accommodate the much larger crowd (over double the size) from what it was last year.

    That is really my only concern. They struggled with getting 700 people in last year and finally just let everyone in. Hopefully they have a couple entrances or something to make that flow easier.

    Have been to family fest there and the new venue is very large, though there is very limited parking. Assuming we all don’t have to crowd under tents, there should be plenty of room.

    Good thing about that is most people should be ubering home from an event like this anyway.

    Stupid question since I already bought a ticket: is this event indoors or outdoors in tents?

    Outdoors. No tents if good weather.
